England had a greater share of possession but managed just three shots on target while the United States had one as both sides lacked a cutting edge in attack.

"I thought it was a very solid performance from the team, obviously against a good opponent," Pulisic said. "There were times when we dominated and created chances and could have won the game. We managed the game well and to come out with a draw is a decent result."

"We've made a lot of people proud back home but the job is not even close to being done. We've got a lot of work to do."

The result at Al-Bayt stadium keeps England top of Group B, a point ahead of Iran and two points ahead of third-placed United States with each team having one group game remaining, reports Xinhua.

The United States must win their last group match against Iran to progress to the last 16.
